Megan smirked in return and looked at Monica with a serious expression, indicating she had faith in her. She turned around and said, “Why don't you see for yourself? I'm sure you're going to be impressed. To be honest, if it's possible, I want to introduce her to others.”
Hudson knew it was a compliment in disguise, but he would never allow a rookie to assume such an important role because their boutique was a globally renowned brand.
In the end, he responded with a smile, behaving as though he wasn't conscious of her meaning.
A few hours later, Megan returned with the photos of the session. Hudson was given a copy and planned to have those from the design department look at it.
They decided to call it a day because it had been a long one. The exhausted Megan bade farewell to Donna and returned to Jake's apartment.
Once she reached his apartment, she noticed he had yet to return. In spite of switching on every available source of illumination in the house, she still found the place eerie.
If there was one thing she had to pick on, it would be the overly organized items and furniture that made the entire place seem desolate.
Suddenly, when Megan heard someone entering the desolate place, she turned around and noticed it was a middle-aged woman.
Confused by the woman's presence, Megan rushed over to greet her because she was afraid that the middle-aged woman was Jake's aunt or something.
“Hello, who you are?”
The middle-aged woman was equally surprised by Megan's presence. She closed the door and replied with a timid smile, “I have been hired by Mr. Wilson to take care of this place when he's not around. You can call me Josephine. Actually, I was on my way back, but Mr. Wilson told me to return and get dinner ready.”
Megan heaved a sigh of relief when she found out Josephine was a maid hired by Jake because she wasn't ready to meet anyone else apart from Jake.
A few seconds later, she greeted Josephine with a smile, “I have just moved in last night. Thus, I'm not sure of the way things work around here. Is he coming back tonight? Why has he instructed you to get dinner ready?”
Josephine gaped at Megan's question. She asked
in return, “Haven't Mr. Wilson informed you? He has sent me here to get your dinner ready because he won't be back tonight.”
